got us off. >> they were like, put on your life vests, go up to the bow. the captain was going toward pier30 nan, but they were going down and they were clearly taking on water. joy it was scary to hear the report. the hole is this big and he was chest deep. >> the party boat they were on is called the neptune. the boat has a crew of four. one of the crew told us exactly what happened. >> we were off course navigation error. we were on the inside of the buoe and we hit little alcatraz. two one foot by one foot holes in the back. >> the crew and the party goers were rescued by the fire department and the coast guard. we were told there were no injuries and no one really suffered any kind of trauma outside of a little scare. now, the coast guard is trying to get all of the water out of

the neptune and trying to tow it back into san francisco. so they will be trying to tow it in sometime tonight. live in san francisco, thomas roman, abc7 news. >> thanks very much. new fallout tonight from the occupy protests in oakland. and tonight it is the police that are in trouble. john alston is live to explain what is going on. >> the chief wants to discipline 44 officers. the city hired an outside group to help investigate more than 1100 complaints against police. one of the protesters who was injured by officers says it has taken too long, but it is a step in the right direction. almost a year after this violent confrontation between officers and occupy oakland protesters, police are assigning blame. chief howard jordan confirms it was one of his officers who fired a beanbag at protestor scott olson, seriously injuring the iraq war veteran. >> permanently --

>> personally i don't think him losing a job is nearly enough. i think he committed a crime and should be put in jail. >> no one is saying what will happen to the unidentified officer, but a just released independent investigation claims four four oakland officers broke the department rules in several occupy protests over the past year. they are minor like officers failing to turn on their video recorders up to excessive use of force. >> i think it might be the first step in the right direction for opd. >> without naming names, the chief is recommending termination for two officers. one demotion, 15 suspensions and counseling and training for three officers and -- three officers and written rep pro maunds for 23 others. >> it was tough for howard jordan to do. it is tough to displane officers you are asking to go out in often violent situations. but he is a good cop and he is

trying to be fair. >> but the head of the police union is furious, blaming city hall for botching the occupy protests and making officers the scapegoat. >> these officers never asked to be put on the front lines of occupy oaknd la multiple times. city leaders failed through their indecisiveness when it comes to occupy here. >> oakland is now coming up on the one-year deadline to investigate the complaints. the officers could be facing some hearings and arbitrations , and the union is promising to defend them vigorously. in oaknd la, john alston, abc news. >> thank you. right now in hole law sister, police are in a standoff with regards to a missing mother. she hasn't been seen since wednesday morning when she dropped her son off at school. her car was found burning on thursday morning. police went to a house to interview a person for information about carol. the interview erupted into a

standoff. authorities are not telling us what the connection the person has to this missing woman. ?ai a couple whose crime spree started with a jail break started in hercules next week. a neighbor found her dead her home. they spotted her stolen car and they arrested darnell and tonya washington after a chase. now, this pair is accused of a crime spree that includes a jail break, the shooting of a los angeles county deputy, two carjackings. the chase near seattle and now these pending murder charges. a shocking charge against two law students. they are both 24 and they were arrested in las vegas for beheading an exotic bird. the two chased a 14-year-old bird into the trees at the flamingo hotel's wildlife habitat. they came out with the body and the severed head. the bird was a helmeted guinea

fowl. they were charged with killing f wildlife. san jose emergency response personnel found that the longer respops times due to the lack of police officers is putting people's lives in danger. this is a story you will see only on abc7. earlier this month, police responded to an officer involved shooting at a cal trans station. hours later they were called to an altercation at a check cashing business where someone was injured. no police units were available. paramedics were there, but they had to wait for police to arrive to secure the scene. in the meantime, the victim goes on. >> we train to save lives and to not sit there with idle hands. >> they state that crews may not enter a dangerous scene until police declare it secure. oakland and san francisco police warn about people who come to your door wearing orange safety vests or dressed as utility workers. it is a ploy to distract and

rob you. it happened once in oakland and never open your door to someone you don't recognize and always ask for identification. >> always do that. the weekend has arrived and let's get a look at the forecast. >> spencer christian is here with a nice warming trend. >> we have skies -- clouds are parting and skies are clearing and we will have a major warming trend over the weekend, but the big deal comes next week when the highs sore up to 90 degrees in the inland low ition cays. we will give uh look at what the temperatures will be like where you are in my seven-day forecast in a few minutes. >> thanks. crews are prepping the space shuttle endeavor for one of the trikier maneuvers. >> the endeavor left early this morning and now they are ready to cross the 405 freeway close to its destination. >> it is fascinating to watch. eric michael son has the huge

task ahead. alex, go ahead. >> alex michael son here and it is an incredible task. this last two-10ths is some of the most complicated miles. there is the space shuttle and it is a spectacular view that you can see. it is going to be driven by this truck right here. it is a toyota tundra that you can pick up at a dealership. it is going to be carrying 300,000 pounds across the freeway. the shuttle today, we have video earlier of how it was taken around. it was taken around by this mover who had 160 wheels and could move in lots of directions. it got very close to buildings and power poles, but it had a lot of maneuver built. the carrier is too heavy to go across the bridge. so they moved it on to this dolly so the tundra can take it across the freeway bridge. this is also a massive commercial for toyota.

they actually haven't paid for the rights to do this. they have been a long sponsor of the california science center. they are getting this opportunity, and it is a pretty spectacular opportunity for them. this could happen in the next matter of moments. and then it will go back on to the carrier. tomorrow there will be more of a journey and they will find the event actual -- the eventual home at the science center. if you ever make it down to southern california check out the science center near usc and you can see the shuttle up close and personal. reporting live, channel 7 news. >> thanks very much. appreciate it. still to come on abc7 news at 11:00, it is official. we will tell you when and where the next giants playoff game will be held. >> and it took more than 50 years, but now a 93-year-old south bay woman finally has her college degree. >> and on-line shopping upgraded. the hot new act that brings your purchases to you within the hour. and coming up on "nightline."
